ABSTRACT
We report a case of 26 year old woman who had ruptured hydatid cyst of the right lung. The chest radiograph and CT features were suggestive of a ruptured hydatid cyst with detached and collapsed endocyst within the exocyst. Intraoperatively communication between cyst and bronchus could be demonstrated. Interesting CT appearance and demonstrable communication of cyst with bronchus is the reason for this case report.

Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma also known as dendritic reticulum cell tumor is uncommon. It can arise in lymph nodes and extra nodal sites namely tonsils and intra abdominal locations. The tumor morphologically mimicks soft tissue sarcomas and hence requires immunohistochemical study for correct diagnosis. It pursues an indolent protracted course with recurrence and still be compatible with long survival. We report a case of follicular dendritic cell tumor of mesentery.
